This was my favorite -- DESIGNERS, THIS IS WHAT AD BLINDNESS LOOKS LIKE IN AN APP: Don't design stuff like this in, people don't notice it anymore.
" Only 2/6 noticed an XChat Gnome notification, despite (1) a
notification bubble appearing, (2) the Ubuntu button going blue,
(3) the messaging menu envelope going blue, and (4) an emblem
appearing on XChat Gnome's launcher. "

As a non-typical user with two large monitors, I never notice gnome notifications. They're small and often on the monitor I'm not looking at.
Oh yea, I always miss when someone mentions my name in xchat.
